Target workers are covered by the Target Australia Retail Agreement 2022. This is a legally binding document and your employer must comply with the provisions outlined in the agreement.
The Target Agreement sets out all of your pay and conditions at work. It is specific to Target workers only.
The current Target Agreement commenced on 15 February 2023. The nominal expiry date is 7 February 2027.
The SDA negotiates with Target on your behalf to secure improved pay and conditions in your agreement. It contains important entitlements and rights, for example:
- Rate of pay
- Pay rises
- Rostering rights
- Breaks
- Penalty rates
- Overtime
- Leave provisions
Before any negotiations for a new agreement begins, the SDA surveys members about what’s important to you at work.
Generally, a new agreement is negotiated every 3-4 years.
For any new agreement to be put in place, it must be voted on by employees and receive a majority yes vote and also be approved by the Fair Work Commission.
